Lakewood Drag struts

Anyone run these? how did they work for you? I'm looking to pick up my 60 time a bit. Thanks

BTW-- I'm buying the 90/10's

I have the Lakewood drag struts on my car. I opted for the 70/30 struts because the car does see some street duty. Work great, did lower my 60ft some and were not all that expensive.

I would definately recommend.

One more thing, I still have my rear sway bar on but the front one is off. My thinking was the rear bar would help keep the car from leaning to the right. Someone who has raced with a setup like this please reply.

My suspension consist of:
Front= Drag struts and no sway bar
Rear=sway bar W/poly end links, Comp Eng bolt on ladder bars, No torque arm, stock rear shocks.

I can't list my 60 times or my power output because I street race but let's just say I'm faster than stock.
